Default Need some guidance

Hi I am new here and I recently purchased my first fbody. It's a 94 camaro with a ls1 swap from an 02 trans am. All I kw about the motor is it has a 76 mm turbo, 317 heads, ls6 intake and cam, ls9 head gaskets, arp rod bolts and head studs, 80 lb injectors. Just the other day I'm pretty sure the turbo blew cause it won't build no boost or anything and the gauge for the oil pump to the turbo isn't registering anything so I'm not sure if the oil pump went out and starved the turbo of oil or what. I am located in western nc so if u guys have any suggestions on what to do or any recommendations on any good shops that are good with ls1 motors and turbo setups around nc , Tennessee , Georgia area please let me kw thanks you!
